This Life; A Poem

This life swirls,-
swirls like an undercurrent.
But for me? Not for me,
does it swirl, not for me-

For me life washes over,
washes over me, unnoticed,
unannounced, if you will,
except for a faint whisper-

A whisper that is audible,
but tis barely so- Not now,
Not for a while, has it,
Has it spoken to me, not since-

Not since you were taken,
taken from me, unannounced,
An unwanted action, but,
that is life, i have learned-

I have learned, this life,
quite harshly sometimes,
deals one as much joy, as much joy
as it does strife- This Life.

Another poem that I wrote several years ago. Just archiving it here, really. But if you do happen to read it I hope you enjoy it.

You lie there, listless now,
Framed in this wooden carriage,
A carriage heaven bound,
Another angel to get it’s wings.

Sadness descends into our world,
A world seemingly the same,
At least outwardly so,
Winds still whirl, birds still chirp.

But not for us is the world the same,
It is altered, eternally altered,
For you touched our lives daily,
Your infectious smile, joyous laugh.

Life goes on, so they say,
No doubt it will, but,
Alas our lives are altered,
Eternally and completely altered.

Just as an addendum, I wrote this poem about five years ago – I am aware its not very subtle. Basically just archiving it here.
